Max towing weight.

Is there any way I can find out the max towing weight of a TR7 in the UK?
Asking as I have been offered the loan of a caravan for next weekends 3 counties show and it sounds more appealing than a tent at my age[8D]

That's why they make 4 star hotels

Would love to stay in a hotel but with the crooks running this country money is a bit tight.[:(!]

Depends very much on the towbar that is fitted to your car, what the owner's manual tells you and what your crooked government wants you to believe ...
This one's OK for 1300 kg (but for that it's a quality item from Belgium [:D])

My tow bar looks like it has a lot more metal about it.

If it's not broke don't fix it.

That's funny, I buy most of my stuff from Dutch people...

Am I the only one who have realised the strength of the rear bumper bar itself?
With reinforced fixings it is well enough strong to handle the towed weights
allowed for the TR8, no extra heap of steel weight is needed:

This part of the world you need type-approval for that, which isn't easy for one off's
